I adopted this recipe after Mean Chef (IHHDRO) left the site. His original comments were, "This is a very simple and delicious broiled chicken breast dish. It is from Rick Bayless. The flavor comes from the use of chipotles and creme fraiche." My original review stated, "Very easy, but wonderfully tasty meal. I used whipping cream, as creme fraiche is not available in my area. I also doubled the sauce and the spinach, as advised by *Shelly*. It was great. My only mistake was to add an extra chipotle to the mix...it was just a little spicy for my tastes, but my hubby had no complaints. There were no leftovers with this dinner." We have since made this many times and always enjoy it.

Simply outstanding! I made this dish without the spinach due to family preference.
I also added 3 teaspoons of the chipotle sauce to the finished cream and chipotle sauce, and I used heavy whipping cream.
I served the chicken over yellow rice and spooned the sauce over the top.
The chicken was very tender with a crispier crust from the broiling, and the sauce was very creamy with a bite from the chipotles.
My family was very impressed with this dish and voted a 5 stars 'round the table.
A keeper, we will be having this often. Thanks so much!

This is incredible! I guess there's a reason why Rick Bayless has his own show :) I used whipping cream, even though I probably could have found creme fraiche here in Arizona. I steamed some rice on the side, but it really wasn't needed, as this was a very filling dish. I think next time I am going to double the spinach and sauce, because we were all licking our plates wishing there was more! This recipe deserves more than 5 stars, they just don't do it justice!
